Note that this option causes fink to download a given package-version in preference to compiling it *after* deciding what version to use. That's a bit different than considering binary availability when deciding what version to use, something fink cannot presently do.
Hmm... so if foobar 1.0 is in stable/binary and foobar 1.1 is in unstable/source, and Fink tries to install an unstable/source package that has a foobar dependency, what would be the effect of -b?
